The  recent  publication  of  the  improred  abridgments  of  Dr. 
Webster's  American  Dictionary  has  made  it  necessary  to  re- 
vise the  Elementary  Spelling-Book,  that  in  its  Notation,  as 
well  as  in  Orthography  and  Pronunciation,  the  series  may  be 
consistent.  The  modifications,  especially  in  Notation,  are  im- 
portant, as  by  the  new  system,  the  nicer  shades  of  difference  in 
the  vowel  sounds  are  given,  and  the  curve  C^)  is  restored  to  its 
original  and  legitimate  office  in  noting*  the  regular  short  sound 
of  the  vowels.  But  a  little  attention  to  the  Icey  to  the  sounds 
of  the  pointed  letters^  and  to  the  remarks  prefixed,  will  prevent 
any  inconvenience  or  embarrassment  either  to  teachers  or 
classes.

PREFACE. 


This  Elementary  SpeUing-hooJc  is  designed  as  an  improve- 
ment on  tlie  American  Spelling-book ;  a  work  whose  exten- 
sive and  increasing  circulation  manifests  tlie  estimation  in 
whicli  it  is  held  by  the  citizens  of  the  United  States.  The 
classification  of  words  in  that  work  has  been  universally  ad 
mitted  to  be  a  great  improvement  on  all  the  schemes  which 
had  preceded  it,  and  the  pronunciation,  with  few  exceptions, 
is  in  exact  accordance  with  the  best  usage  both  in  England 
and  tho  United  States.  The  classification,  however,  which 
was  imperfect  in  that  work,  is  here  completed,  and  the  few 
errors  in  orthography  and  pronunciation,  which  occur  in  that, 
are  corrected  in  this  work.  Indeed,  the  plan  of  classification 
here  executed  is  extended  so  as  to  comprehend  every  impor- 
tant variety  of  English  words,  and  the  classes  are  so  arranged, 
with  suitable  directions  for  the  pronunciation,  that  any  pupil 
who  shall  be  master  of  these  Elementary  Tables^  will  find  little 
difficulty  in  learning  to  form  and  pronounce  any  words  that 
properly  belong  to  our  vernacular  language. 

The  tables  intended  for  Exercises  in  spelling  and  forming 
words,  contain  the  original  words,  with  the  terminations  only 
of  their  derivatives.  These  tables  will  answer  the  important 
purposes,  of  teaching  the  manner  of  forming  the  various  deriv 
atives,  and  the  distinctions  of  the  parts  of  speech,  and  thus  an 
ticipate,  in  some  degree,  the  knowledge  of  grammar;  at  the 
same  time  they  bring  into  a  small  compass  a  much  greater 
number  of  words  than  coula  ^*e  otherwise  comprised  in  so  small 

*'^^'-       _  _     ivi5S9778 

The  pronunciation  here  given,  is  that  which  is  sanctioned  by 
the  most  general  usage  of  well-bred  people  both  in  the  United 
States  and  in  England,    This  fact  is  stated  from  personal  knowl-

edge.  There  are  a  few  words  in  both  countries  whose  pronun- 
ciation is  not  settled  beyond  dispute.  In  cases  of  this  kind,  I 
have  leaned  to  regular  analogies,  as  furnishing  the  best  rule  of 
decision. 

There  has  been,  for  half  a  century  past,  an  affectation  of  pro- 
nouncing the  English  u  asyu,  in  a  multitude  of  words,  in  which 
this  sound  had  before  been  unknown.  This  affectation  resulted 
in  changing  d  before  u  into  j,  as  gradual  [grajual],  and  t  into 
chy  as  in  nature  [uachure],  and  one  author  went  so  far  as  to 
change  s  into  sA,  in  words  beginning  with  super,  as  superior, 
[shooperior] ;  with  a  like  affectation,  d  before  i  in  immediate, 
obedience,  was  changed  into  j  [immejeate,  obejeence].  The 
mischiefs  resulting  from  this  affectation,  in  changing  the  proper 
sounds  of  the  letters,  and  thus  impairing  the  use  of  the  alpha- 
bet, have  been  very  extensive,  and  can  not  be  easily  repaired, 
But  the  good  sense  of  the  intelligent  part  of  the  British  pub- 
lic has,  in  some  degree,  checked  the  evil ;  and  a  recent  wiitar 
on  orthoepy  has  rejected  the  chu,  and  dje,  smddju,  from  eveiy 
word  in  the  language^ 

In  orthography  there  are  some  classes  of  words  in  which 
usage  is  not  uniform.  "No  two  English  writers  agree  on  this 
subject ;  and  what  is  worse,  no  lexicographer  is  consistent  with 
himself.  In  this  branch  of  English  philology,  I  have  adopted, 
both  in  this  work,  and  in  my  dictionary,  that  orthography 
which  is  most  simple,  and  which  is  now  the  best  authorized.  I 
ihave  pursued  the  rules  which  are  held  to  be  legitimate,  and 
rendered  all  classes  of  words,  falling  within  the  rules,  uniform 
in  orthography  If  established  rules  and  analogies  will  not 
control  the  practice  of  writers,  I  know  of  no  authority  by  which 
uniformity  can  be  produced. 

In  this  work,  the  sounds  of  the  vowels  in  accented  syllables 
are  represented  by  points  or  marks  attached  to  the  letters.  It 
is  highly  desirable  timt  this  mode  of  remedying,  in  some  mea- 
sure, the  evils  of  a  very  irregular  orthography,  which  can  not 
be  reformed,  might  be  adopted  in  all  printed  books.  It  was 
adopted  in  the  Ilebrew  language,  and  is  used  in  the  German, 
Swedish,  and  Danish  at  this  day.  This  would  serve  to  fix  the 
pronunciation  of  words,  facilitate  the  acquisition  of  it  both  by 
foreigners  and  our  own  children,  and  probably  contribute  to 
the  propagation  of  the  English  language,  and  of  Christianity,! 
among  distant  nations.

PREFACE. 


Tlio  vowels  in  unaccented  syllables  are,  for  the  most  part, 
left  unpointed ;  as  I  am  convinced  that  any  attempt  to  desig- 
nate sounds  so  slight  and  indeterminate,  -would  do  more  haiin 
than  good* 

Letters  printed  in  the  Italic  characters  are  mute ;  but  by 
the  classification  of  words  here  adopted,  few  of  these  charac- 
ters are  necessary. 

The  reading  lessons  are  adapted,  as  fer  as  possible,  to  the  ca- 
pacities of  children,  and  to  their  gradual  progress  in  knowledge. 
These  lessons  will  serve  to  substitute  variety  for  the  dull  mo- 
notony of  spelling,  show  the  practical  use  of  words  in  signifi- 
cant sentences,  and  thus  enable  the  learner  the  better  to  under- 
stand them.  The  consideration  of  diversifying  the  studies  of 
children,  has  also  had  its  influence  in  the  arrangement  of  the 
lessons  for  spelling. 

It  is  useful  to  teach  children  the  significations  of  words,  as 
soon  as  they  can  comprehend  them ;  but  the  understanding  can 
hardly  keep  pace  with  the  memory,  and  the  minds  of  children 
may  well  be  employed  in  learning  to  spell  and  pronounce 
words,  whose  signification  is  not  within  the  reach  of  their  ca- 
pacities ;  for  what  they  do  not  clearly  understand  at  first,  they 
will  understand  as  their  capacities  are  enlarged. 

The  objects  of  a  work  of  this  kind  being  chiefly  to  teach  or- 
thography and  pronunciation^  it  is  judged  most  proper  to  adapt 
the  various  tables  to  these  specific  objects  and  omit  extraneous 
matter.  In  short,  this  little  b®ok  is  so  constructed  as  to  con- 
dense into  the  smallest  compass  a  complete  System  of  Ele- 
ments for  teaching  the  language ;  and  however  small  such  a 
book  may  appear,  it  may  be  considered  as  the  most  important 
class-book,  not  of  a  religious  character,  which  the  youth  of  our 
country  are  destined  to  use. 

In  the  plan  and  execution  of  this  work,  I  have  had  the  ad- 
vice and  assistance  of  some  of  the  most  experienced  iHstructor& 
in  New  York,  to  whom  I  would  present  my  grateful  acknowi^ 
edgment». 


THE    ELEMENTARY 


ANALYSIS  OF   SOUNDS 

IK    THE    EKaLISU    LANOUAQE, 

Language  or  Speecli  is  tlie  utterance  of  articulate 
sounds  or  voices,  rendered  significant  bj  usage,  for  fhe 
expression  and  communication  of  thoughts. 

Articulate  sounds,  are  those  which  are  formed  by 
opening  and  closing  the  organs.  The  closing  of  the  or- 
gans is  an  articulation  or  jointing,  as  in  eb,  ed^  et  The 
articulations  are  represented  by  the  letters  called  conso- 
nants. The  sounds  made  with  the  organs  open,  are 
called  vowels,  as  a,  e^  o. 

Sounds  constitute  the  spohen  language,  addressed  to 
the  ear ;  letters  or  characters,  representing  sounds,  con- 
stitute written  language,  which  is  presented  to  the  eye. 

The  letters  of  a  language,  arranged  in  a  certain  order, 
compose  what  is  called  an  Alphabet, 

The  English  Alphabet  consists  of  twenty-six  letters, 
or  single  characters — a,  b,  c,  d,  e,  f,  g,  h,  i,  j,  k,  1,  m,  n, 
o,  p,  q,  r,  g,  t,  u,  V,  w,  x,  y,  z.  The  compounds  cA,  sh^ 
thj  and  ng  are  also  used  to  represent  distinct  sounds; 
and  another  sound  is  expressed  by  5^,  or  z  ;  as,  in  hror- 
sier,  azure^  pronounced  hra'zher^  azhlur. 

Of  the  foregoing  letters,  a,  e,  o,  are  always  vowels ; 
i  and  t*  are  vowels  or  diphthongs ;  w  is  also  a  vowel  ; 
and  y  is  either  a  vowel,  a  diphthong,  or  a  consonant. 

Each  of  the  vowels  has  its  regular  long  and  short 
sounds  which  are  most  used ;  and  also  certain  occasional 
sounds  which  occur  more  rarely,  as  that  of  a  in  last^ 
far^  care,  tall,  what;  e  in  her,  there,  P'r^ ;  i  in  firm,  ma-- 
rine ;  o  in  dove,  hooh,  wolf,  prove;  and  u  in  rude  and 
pull.     These  will  now  be  considered  distinctly.

zontal  mark  over  it ;  as,  an'  cient,  pro-fane' ;  and  the 
regular  short  sound  bj  a  curve  over  it ;   as,  cat,  pSr'ry. 

Occasional  sounds, — The  Italian  souird  is  indicated  by 
two  dots  over  it ;  as,  bar,  farther ; — the  broad,  or  Ger« 
man  sound,  by  two  dots  below  it ;  as,  ball,  stall ;— the 
short  sound  of  broad  a,  by  a  single  dot  under  it ;  as, 
what,  quad'rant ; — the  short  sound  of  the  Italian  a,  by 
a  single  dot  over  it ;  as,  fast,  last ; — ^the  sound  of  a  be- 
fore T  in  certain  words  like  care^  fair^  &c.,  is  represented 
by  a  caret  over  the  a,  as,  care,  hair,  fiiir,  &c. 

E.  The  regular  long  sound  of  c  is  indicated  by  a  hori- 
zontal mark  over  it;  as,  mete,  se-rene';  the  regulax 
short  sound,  by  a  curve  over  it ;  as  met,  re-bel'. 

Occasional  sounds. — The  sound  of  e  like  a  in  care  is 
indicated  by  a  caret  over  the  e,  as  in  their,  where ;  and 
of  short  6  before  r  in  cases  'where  it  verges  toward  short 
w,  by  a  single  dot  over  it ;  as,  her,  pre-fOr'. 

I,  0,  U.  The  regular  long  and  short  sounds  of  %  o, 
and  u  are  indicated  like  those  of  a  and  e  by  a  horizon- 
tal mark  or  curve ;  as,  bind,  bin  ;  dole,  doll ;  tune,  tun, 

Occassional  sounds. — When  i  has  the  sound  of  long  e 
it  is  marked  by  two  dots  over  it;  as,  fa-ti'gue^,  ma-fine'; 
— ^when  0  has  the  sound  of  short  u,  it  is  marked  by  a 
single  dot  over  it ;  as,  dove,  son ; — when  it  has  the 
sound  of  00,  it  is  marked  with  two  dots  over  it ;  as, 
move,  prove; — the  two  letters  oo,  without  marks,  have 
the  sound  of  the  French  ou  ;  as,  boom,  loom ; — when  u 
is  sounded  like  short  oo,  it  has  two  dots  under  it ;  as, 
full,  pull ;  while  its  occasional  sound,  as  when  preceded 
by  r,  is  indicated  as  in  rude,  rubral,  ru'by. 

Note. — The  long  u  in  unaccented  syllables  has,  to  a 

great  extent,  the  sound  of  short  oo,  preceded  by  y,  as  in 

\\educate,  pronounced  ed'yoo-kate;    na^i^re,  pronounced 

Jntiate'yoorr 


10  THE    ELEMENTARY 


The  long  sound  of  a  in  late^  when  shortened,  coincides  near- 
ly with  that  of  e  in  let ;  as,  adequate^  disconsolate^  inveterate. 

The  long  e,  when  shortened,  coincides  with  the  short  i  in 
pit  ;  as,  in  feet,  fit.  This  short  sound  of  i  is  that  of  y  unac- 
cented, at  the  end  of  words  ;  as,  in  glory* 

The  short  «ound  of  broad  a  in  hall^  is  that  of  short  o  in 
holly,  and  of  a  in  what. 

The  short  sound  of  oo  in  pool^  is  that  of  v,  in  pull,  and  oo  in 

The  short  sound  of  o  in  not,  is  somewhat  lengthene<l  before 

s,  fAj'and  n^  ;  as  in  nor,  cross,  broth,  belong. 

The  articulations  represented  by  the  consonants  are  best  un- 
derstood by  placing  a  vowel  before  them  in  pronunciation ; 
thus,  eb,  ed,  ef,  eg,  ek,  el,  em,  en,  ep,  er,  es,  et,  ev,  ez. 

Those  articnlations  which  wholly  interrupt  the  voice,  are 
called  close,  or  mute,  as  eb,  ed,  eg,  ek,  ep,  et.  Those  which 
do  not  entirely  interrupt  the  voice,  are  called  semi-vowels,  as, 
ef,  el,  em,  en,  er,  es,  ev,  ez,  eth. 

Those  articulations  which  are  formed  by  the  lips,  are  called 
labials  ;  as,  eb,  ef,  em,  ep,  ev. 

Those  which  are  formed  by  the  tip  of  the  tongue  and  the 
teeth,  are  called  dentals  ;  as,  ed,  et,  eth. 

Those  which  are  formed  by  the  tongue  and  palate,  are  called 
palatals/,   as,  eg,  ek,  eng. 

The  letters  s  and  z  are  called  also  sibilants  or  hissing  letters. 

B  and  p  represent  one  and  the  same  articulation,  or  jointing 
of  the  lips  ;  but  p  indicates  a  closer  pressure  of  the-  lips,  which 
instantly  stops  all  sound. 

D  and  t  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  which  is  a 
pressure  of  the  tongue  against  the  gum  at  the  root  of  the  up- 
per teeth ;  but  t  stands  for  a  closer  articulation  than  d,  and 
stops  all  sound.. 

F  and  v  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  the  upper 
teeth  placed  on  the  under  lip  ;  but  /  indicates  an  aspiration  or 
expulsion  of  breath  without  sound  ;  v,  with  sound. 

Th  in  think  and  in  that  represent  one  and  the  same  articu- 
lation ;  the  former  with  aspiration  ;  the  latter  with  sound. 

>S  and  2  stand  for  one  and  the  same  articulation,  attended 
with  hissing  ;  s  without  sound  ;  z  with  sound. 

Sh  and  zh  have  the  same  distinction  as  s  and  z,  aspi 
rated  and  vocal ;  but  zh  not  occurring  in  English  words,  the 
eonnd  is  represented  by  si  or  other  letters  ;  as,  in  fusion^  osier, 
azure, 

Ng  represent  the  articulation  of  the  body  of  the  tongue 


SPELLING-BOOK.  JJ 


with  the  roof  of  the  mouth,  la  certain  words,  as'in  sing^  the 
articulation  is  moderately  close,  with  a  nasal  sound  ;  in  other 
words,  as  in  finger^  the  pressure  is  more  close,  stopping  all 
sound.  A  closer  pressure  is  represented  by  nk^  as  in  hank. 
The  difference  is  obvious  in  hang^  angei\  hank^  but  the  articu- 
lation is  the  same  in  all  cases.  See  Section  139. 
■  B  has  one  sound  only,  as  in  lite  ;  and  after  m  is  mute,  as 
in  dumb 

C  has  tlie  sound  of  k  before  a,  o,  and  w,  as  in  cat^  cotj  cup ; 
and  of  s  before  e^  %  and  y,  as  in  cell^  cit,  cycle.  It  may  be  con- 
sidered as  mute  before  k  ;  as,  in  sick^  thick,  C,  when  followed 
by  e  or  i  before  another  vowel,  unites  with  e  or  i  to  form  the 
sound  of  sh.  Thus,  cetaceous^  gracious^  conscience^  are  prO' 
nounced  ce-ta'sluis^  gra'shus^  conshense. 

T>  has  one  sound  only  ;  as,  in  day^  bid.  ^ 

F  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  life,  f every  except  in  of,  in 
which  it  has  the  sound  of  v. 

G  before  a,  o,  and  w,  is  a  close  palatal  articulation ;  as,  in 
gave,  go,  gun  ;  but  before  e,  i,  and  y,  it  is  sometimes  a  close 
articulation,  and  sometimes  it  has  a  compound  sound,  like^'; 
as,  in  gem,  gin,  gyves.     Before  n  it  is  silent ;  as,  in  gnaw, 

n  is  a  mark  of  breathing  or  aspiration.  After  r  it  has  no 
sound  ;  as,  in  rhetoric, 

I  in  certain  words  has  the  use  of  y  consonant ;  as,  in  million, 
pronounced  mill'yun^  Before  r  it  has  the  sound  of  short  u  ; 
as,  in  bird,  flirt, 

J  represents  a  compound  sound,  that  may  be  expressed  by 
dzh  ;  as,  in  joy. 

K  has  one  sound  only;  as,  in  king.  It  is  silent  before  n ; 
as,  in  knave, 

^  L  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  lame,  m,ill.  It  is  sometimes 
silent  before  k,  as  in  walk  ;  before  m,  as  in  calm  ;  and  before 
/,  as  in  calf, 

M  has  one  sound  only  ;  as,  in  man,  flame, 

N  has  one  sound  only  ;  as,  in  not,  sun.  It  is  silent  after  m; 
as,  in  hymn,  solemn, 

T  has  one  sound  only  ;  as,  in  pit,  lap.  Before  s  it  is  silent; 
as,  in  2^>iCilf>^* 

Q  has  precisely  the  power  of  k,  but  it  is  always  followed  by 
u  ;  as,  in  question, 

S  has  its  proper  sound ;  as,  in  send,  less,  or  the  sound  of  z  ; 
as,  in  rise.  Followed  by  i  preceding  a  vowel,  it  unites  with 
tlie  vowel  in  forming  the  sound  of  sh ;  as,  in  mission,  pro* 
Dounced  mish'un  ; — or  of  zh  ;  as,  in  osier,  pronounced  o'zher. 


12  THE    ELEMENTARY 


When  it  has  the  latter  sound,  it  is  indicated  in  this  book  by  a 
vertical  line  through  it ;  as  $. 

T  bas  its  proper  sound ;  as,  in  turn^  at  the  beginning  of 
words  and  end  of  syllables.  Before  f,  followed  by  another 
vowel,  it  unites  with  i  and  forms  the  sound  of  sh^  as  in  nation^ 
partial^  patience^  pronounced  na' shorty  par^shal^  pa'shense,  A 
few  exceptions  are,  when  s  or  x  precede  t,  as  in  bastion,  chris- 
tian, m£a:^io?i,« pronounced  hdsifijun,  Jcrlst'yan,  miJcst'yun* 

y  has  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  voice,  live,  and  is  never  silent. 

W  before  r  is  silent,  as  in  wring,  wrong.  In  most  words  be- 
ginning with  wh,  the  h  precedes  the  w  in  utterance.  Thus- 
when  is  pronounced  hwen, 

X  represents  Ics,  as  in  wax ;  but  is  soanetimes  pronounced 
like  gz  ;  as,  in  exact.  At  tlie  beginning  of  words  it  is  pro- 
nounced like  z,;  as,  in  Xenophon, 

Z  has  its  proper  sound,  which  is  that  of  the  vocal  s,  or  a 
hissing  with  sound  ;  as,  in  maze, 

Ch  have  the  sound  nearly  of  tsh ;  as,  in  church,  or  the 
sound  of  h  ;  as,  in  character  ;  or  of  sh,  as  in  machine. 

Oh  are  mute  in  every  English  word,  both  in  the  middle  and 
at  the  end  of  words,  except  in  the  following  :  cough,  chough, 
dough,  enough,  hough,  laugh,  rough,  slough,  tough,  trough. 
These  words  close  with  the  sound  of  /,  so  that  gh  may  be  said 
not  to  have  their  proper  sound  in  any  English  word. 

Ph  have  the  sound  of/,  as  in  philosophy^  except  in  Stephen, 
pronounced  Ste'ven, 

Sh  have  one  sound  only ;  as,  in  shall, 

Th  have  two  sounds ;  aspirate,  as  in  think,  both  ;  and  vocal, 
aa  in  thou,  this,  "When  vocal,  the  th  are  marked  thus,  (fh), 
as  in  thou. 

Sc  have  the  sound  of  sh,  before  a,  o,  u,  and  r  ;  as,  in  scale, 
scoff,  sculpture,  scroll ;  and  the  sound  of  s  only  before  e,  i,  and 
y  ;  as,  in  scene,  scepter,  science,  Scythian, 

Two  vowels  in  a  syllable,  when  only  one  is  pronounced,  are 
called  a  digra-ph.       , 

The  pronuiici^tlon  of  the  diphthongs  oi  and  oy  is  the  same 
and  uniform ;  asj"  %^Jom,  joy. 

The  pronunciatioft  4i£  the»diphthongs  oil  and  ow  is  the  same 
and  uniform ;  as,  in  sSdndi,  now.  But  in  the  termination  ous, 
ou  is  not  a  diphthong,  and.  the  pronunciation  is  us ;  as,  in 
pious,  glorious. 


^> 


The  digraphs  at  and  cltj,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  and  in  ac 
cented  syllables,  have  the  sound  of  a  long,  in  the  unaccented 
syllables  of  a  few  words,  the  sound  of  a  is  nearly  or  quite  lost ; 


SPELLING-BOOK.  13 


as,  in  certain^  curtain.  The  digraphs  au  and  'iw^  have  the 
sound  of  broad  a,  as  in  fall ;  ew,  that  of  u  long,  as  in  new  ; 
and  ey,  in  unaccented  syllables,  that  of  y  short,  as  in  valley. 

When  one  vowel  of  a  digraph  is  pointed  or  marked,  the 
other  has  no  sound ;  as,  ^in  court^  road^  slow. 

The  digraphs  ea,  ee,  ei,  ie,  when  not  pointed,  have,  in  this 
work,  the  sound  of  e  long ;  as,  in  nearj  meet^  seize,  grieve.  The 
vowels  in  Section  143  are  exceptions. 

The  digraph  oa,  unless  pointed,  has  the  sound  of  o  long. 

In  a  few  instances,  words  of  disputable  pronunciation  are 
distinguished  by  this  mark  f  . 

Vowels,  in  words  of  one  syllable,  followed  by  a  single  con- 
sonant and  e  final,  are  long  ;  as,  in  fatCj  mete,  mite,  note,  mute, 
unless  pointed,  as  in  dove,  give. 

The  accented  syllable  of  words  is  designated  by  the  mark  ('). 

The  double  accent  ('^)  in  such  words  as  pre'^cious,  am-M'tious 
(Section  135),  shows  that  the  subsequent  c  or  ^  has  the  sound 
of  sh. 

The  double  accent  in  such  words  as  an'^ger,  ^lan'^gor  (Section 
139),  indicates  that  ng  are  pronounced  with  a  close  articulation. 

OF    ACCENT,    EMPHASIS,    AND    CADENCE. 

Accent  is  a  forcible  stress  or  impulse  of  voice  on  a  letter 
or  syllable,  distinguishing  it  from  others  in  the  same  word. 
When  it  falls  on  a  vowel,  it  prolongs  the  sound,  as  in  glory  ; 
when  it  falls  on  a  consonant,  the  preceding  vowel  is  short,  as 
in  hahit. 

The  general  rule  by  which  accent  is  regulated,  is,  that  the 
stress  of  voice  falls  on  that  syllable  of  a  word,  which  renders 
the  articulations  most  easy  to  the  speaker,  and  most  agreeable 
to  the  hearer.  By  this  rule  has  the  accent  of  most  words 
been  imperceptibly  established  by  a  long  and  uniycfeal  consent. 

When  a  w^ord  consists  of  three  or  more  ^Hables,  the  ease 
of  speaking  requires  usually  a  secondary  accent,  of  less  forcible 
utterance  than  the  primary,  but  clearly  distinguishable  from 
the  pronunciation  of  unaccented  syllables ;  as  in  superfluity , 
literary. 

In  many  compound  words,  the  parts  of  v/hich  are  important 
words  of  themselves,  there  is  very  little,  distinction  of -accent ; 
as,  ink-stand,  ckurch-7/ard. 

Emphasis  is  a  particular  force  of  utterance  given  t«  a  par- 
ticular word  in  a  sentence,  on  account  of  its  importance. 

Cadence  is  a  fall  or  modulation  of  the  voice  in  reading  or 
speaking,  especially  at  the  end  of  a  sentence.

Legislation  is  tlie  enacting  of  laws,  and  a  legislator  is  one  who 
makes  laws. 

God  is  the  divine  legislator.  He  proclaimed  his  ten  command 
ments  from  mount  Sinai. 

In  free  governments  the  people  choose  their  legislators. 

We  have  legislators  for  each  State,  who  make  laws  for  the 
State  where  they  live.  The  town  in  which  they  meet  to 
legislate,  is  called  the  seat  of  government.  These  legisla- 
tors, when  they  are  assembled  to  make  laws,  are  called  the 
legislature. 

The  people  should  choose  their  best  and  wisest  men  for  their 
legislators. 

It  istke  duty  of  every  good  man  to  inspect  the  moral  conduct

of  the  man  who  is  offered  as  a  legislator  at  our  yearly  elec- 
tions. If  the  people  wish  for  good  laws,  they  may  have 
them,  by  electing  good  men.^ 

The  legislative  councils  of  the  United  States  should  feel  their 
dependence  on  the  will  of  a  free  and  virtuous  people. 

Our  farmers,  mechanics  and  merchants,  compose  the  strength 
of  our  nation.  Let  tliem  be  wise  and  virtuous,  and  watch- 
ful of  their  liberties.  Let  them  trust  no  man  to  legislate  for 
them,  if  he  lives  in  the  habitual  violation  of  the  laws  of  his 
country.

The  fixed  stars  are  at  immense  distances  from  us  :  they  are  so 
distant  that  we  can  not  measure  the  number  of  miles. 

When  ^ogs  and  vapors  rise  from  the  earth,  and  ascend  one  or 
two  miles  high,  they  come  to  a  cold  part   of  the  air.     The

cold  there  condenses  tliese  vapors  into  thick  clouds,  which 

fall  in  showers  of  rain. 
Noah  and  his  family  outlived  all  the  people  who  lived  before 

the  flood. 
The  brave  sailors  embark  on  board  of  *ships,  and  sail  over  the 

great  and  deep  sea. 
Tlie  time  will  soon  come  when  we  must  bid  a  last  farewell  to 

this  world. 
The  bright  stars  without  number  adorn  the  skies. 
When  our  friends  die,  they  will  nevei  retura  to  us ;  but  we 

must  Boon  follow  them.  • 

God  will  condemn  the  wicked,  and  cast  them  into  outer  dark- 
ness. 
God  will  forgive  those  who  repent  of  their  sins,  and  live  a  holy 

life. 
Do  not  attempt  to  deceive  God ;  nor  to  mock  him  with  solemn 

words,  whilst  your  heart  is  set  to  do  evil. 
A  holy  life  will  disarm  death  of  its  sting. 
God  will  impar^  grace  to  the  humble  penitent.

Senate  originally  signified  a  council  of  elders ;  for  men,  before 
their  minds  were  perverted  and  corrupted,  committed  tlie 
public  concerns  to  men  of  age  and  experience.  The  maxim 
of  wise  men  was,  old  men  for  counsel ;  young  men  for  war. 
But  in  modern  times  the  senatorial  dignity  is  not  always 
connected  with  age.

"  Take  away  your  exactions  from  my  people."     Ez.  14. 

To  exist  signiiies  to  be  or  to  have  life.     Immortal  souls  will 

never  cease  to  exist. 
We  must  not  exalt  ourselves,  nor  exult  over  a  fallen  rival. 
It  is  our  duty  to  exert  our  talents  in  doing  good. 
We  are  not  to  expect  to  be  exempt  from  evils. 
Exhort  one  another  to  the  practice  of  virtue. 
Water  is  exhaled  from  the  earth  in  vapor,  and  in  time  the 

ground  is  exhausted  of  water. 
An  exile  is  one  who  is  banished  from  his  country. 
In  telling  a  story  be  careful  not  to  exaggerate. 
Examine  the  Scriptures  daily  and  carefully,  and  set  an  example 

of  good  works. 
An  executor  is  one  appointed  by  a  will  to  settle  an  estate  after 

the  death  of  the  testator  who  makes  the  will. 
The  President  of  the  United  States  is  the  chief  executive  officer 

of  the  government. 
Officers  should  not  exact  exorbitant  fees  for  their  services. 
Charitable  societies  exhibit  proofs  of  much  benevolence. 
The  earth  often  produces  exuberant  crops. 
Every  man  wishes  to  be  exonerated  from  burdensome  services.

Experience  keeps  a  aear  scliool,  but  fools  will  learn  in  no 
other. 

Chyle  is  tlio  milky  fluid  separated  from  food  by  digestion,  and 
from  this  are  formed  blood  and  nutriment  for  the  support  of 
animal  life. 

An  epoch  is  a  fixed  point  of  time  from  which  years  are  reck- 
oned. The  departure  of  the  Israelites  from  Egypt  is  a  re- 
markable epoch  in  their  history. 

A  patriarch  is  the  father  of  a  family.  Abraham  was  the  gr^at 
patriarch  of  the  Israelites. 

Sound  striking  against  an  object  and  returned,  is  an  echo. 

The  stomach  is  the  great  laboratory  of  animal  bodies,  in  which 
food  is  digested  and  prepared  for  entering  the  proper  ves- 
sels, and  nourishing  the  body.  If  the  stomach  is  impaired 
and  docs  not  perform  its  proper  functions,  the  Yfhole  body 
suffers.

The  pronunciation  of  the  words  in  the  following  table  is  marked 
in  different  ways  by  writers  on  orthoepy. 

1.  Natshure,  jointshure,  etc.,  with  ti  long.  This  is  a  false  no- 
tation ;  the  words  neither  in  England  nor  the  United  States 
being  ever  pronounced  with  u  long. 

2.  Natshur,  jointshur,  etc.,  with  u  short.  This  pronunciation' 
is  commoil  in  both  countries,  but  not  the  most  elegant. 

3.  Nateyur,  jointyur.  This  pronunciation,  though  a  departure 
from  the  rules  of  the  language,  by  prefixing  the  sound  of  y 
to  u  short,  is  at  present  fashionable,  among  elegant  speakers. 
The  latest  writer  limits  this  anomaly  almost  wholly  to  a  few 
words  of  two  syllables.

The  lungs  are  the  organs  of  respiration.  If  any  substance, 
except  air,  is"  inhaled  and  comes  in  contact  with  the  lungs, 
we  instantly  cough.  This  cough  is  an  effort  of  nature  to 
free  the  lungs.  i 

A  finger  signifies  a  taker,  as  does  fang.  We  take  or  catch 
things  with  the  fingers,  and  fowls  and  rapacious  quadrupeds 
seize  other  animals  with  their  fangs.  ! 

A  pang  is  a  severe  pain ;  anguish  is  violent  distress. 

A  lecture  is  a  discourse  read  or  pronounced  on  any  subject ;  it 
is  also  a  formal  reproof.

Whatever  is  wrong  is  a  deviation  from  right,  or  from  the  laws 
of  God  or  man. 

Anger  is  a  tormenting  passion,  and  so  are  envy  and  jealousy, 
To  be  doomed  to  suffer  these  passions  long,  would  be  as  se- 
vere a  punishment  as  confinement  in  the  State's  prison. 

An  anglicism  is  a  peculiar  mode  of  speech  among  the  English, 

Lova  is  an  agreeable  passion,  and  love  is  sometimes  stronger 
than  death. 

How  happy  men  would  be  if  they  would  always  love  what  is 
right  and  hate  what  is  wrong.

It  is  very  useful  to  bread  to  knead  it  well. 

The  original  signification  of  knave  was  a  boy ;  but  the  word 
now  signifies  a  dishonest  person. 

A  knout  is  an  instrument  of  punishment,  consisting  of  a  nar- 
row strap  of  leather  which  inflicts  severe  torture.

THE  DOa. 


This  dog  is  tlie  mastiff.  He  is  active,  strong,,  and  used  as  a 
watch-dog.  He  has  a  large  head  and  pendent  ears.  He  is 
not  very  apt  to  bite  ;  but  he  will  sometimes  take  down  a  man 
and  hold  him  down.  Three  mastiffs  once  had  a  combat  with 
a  lion,  and  the  lion  was  compelled  to  save  himself  by  flight. 


THE  STAG. 

The  stag  is  the  male  of  the  red  deer.  He  is  a  mild  and 
harmless  animal,  bearing  a  noble  attire  of  horns,  which  are 
shed  and  renewed  every  year.  His  form  is  light  and  elegant 
and  he  runs  with  great  rapidity.  The  female  is  called  a  hind ; 
and  the  fawn  or  young  deer,  when  his  horns  appear,  is  called 
a  pricket  or  brocket.

THE  BQUIREEL. 

The  squirrel  is  a  beautiful  little  animal.  The  gray  and 
black  squirrels  live  in  the  forest  and  make  a  nest  of  leaves  and 
sticks  on  the  high  branches.  It  is  amusing  to  see  the  nimble 
squirrel  spring  from  branch  to  branch,  or  run  up  and  down 
the  stem  of  a  tree,  and  dart  behind  it  to  escape  from  sight. 
Little  ground  squirrels  burrow  in  the  earth.  They  subsist  on 
nuts,  which  they  hold  in  their  paws,  using  them  as  little  boys 
use  their  hands.

An  old  man  found  a  rude  boy  upon  one  of  his  trees  steal-

sauce-box  told  him  plainly  he  would  not.     "Won't  you  ?"  said

the  old  man,  "then  I  will  fetch  you  down;"  so  he  pulled  up 
some  turf  or  grass  and  threw  at  him ;  but  this  only  made  the 
youngster  laugh,  to  think  the  old  man  should  pretend  to  beat 
him  down  from  the  tree  with  grass  only. 

"Well,  well,"  said  the  old  man,  "if  neither  words  nor  grass 
will  do,  I  must  try  what  virtue  there  is  in  stones ;"  so  the  old' 
man  pelted  him  heartily  with  stones,  which  soon  made  the 
young  chap  liasten  down  from  the  tree  and  beg  the  old  man's 
pardon.

If  good  words  and  gentle  means  will  not  reclaim  the  wicked, 
they  .must  be  dealt  with  in  a  more  severe  manner.

THE  COUXTKY  MAID  AND  HER  MILE-PAIL. 

When  men  suffer  their  imagination  to  amuse  them  T^ith 
the  prospect  of  distant  and  uncertain  improvements  of  their 
condition,  they  frequently  sustain  real  losses,  by  their  inatten- 
tion to  those  affairs  in  which  they  are  immediately  concerned. 

A  country  maid  was.  walking  very  deliberately  with  a  pail 
of  milk  upon  her  head,  when  she  fell  into  the  following  trailfi 
of  reflections  :  "The  money  for  which  I  shall  sell  this  milk,  will 
enable  me  to  increase  my  stock  of  eggs  to  three  hundred. 
These  eggs,  allowing  for  what  may  prove  addle,  and  what 
may  be  destroyed  by  vermin,  will  produce  at  least  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  chickens.  The  chickens  will'  be  fit  to  carry  to 
market  about  Christmas,  when  poultry  always  bears  a  good

enough  to  purchase  a  new  gown.  Green  ! — let  me  consider — 
yes,  green  becomes  my  complexion  best,  and  green  it  shall  be. 
In  this  dress  I  will  go  to  the  fair,  where  all  the  young  fellows

fuse every  one  of  them,  and,  wnth  an  air  of  disdain,  toss  fi'om 
them."  Transported  with  this  triumphant  thought,  she  could 
not  forbear  acting  with  her  head  what  thus  passed  in  her  im-

THE  TWO  DOGS. 


Uasty  and  inconsiderate  connections  ai'e  generally  attended 
with  great  disadvantages ;  and  much  of  eveiy  man's  good  or 
ill  fortune,  depends  upon  the  choice  he  makes  of  his  friends.

be  no  interruption,  he  Raid,  he  should  be  glad  to  bear  him 
company  on  his  way.  Tiger,  who  happened  not  to  be  alto- 
gether in  so  growlino-  a  mood  as  usual,  accepted  the  proposal ; 
and  they  very  amicably  pursued  their  journey  together.  In

THE  PARTIAL  JTJXXJE. 

A  farmer  came  to  a  neighboring  lawyer,  expressing  groat 
concern  for  an  accident  which  he  said  had  just  happened. 
''  One  of  your  oxen,"  continued  he,  "has  been  gored  by  an  un 
lucky  bull  of  mine,  and  I  should  be  glad  to  know  how  I  am  to. 
make  you  reparation."  "Thou  art  a  very  honest  fellow,"  replied 
the  lawyer,  "and  wilt  not  think  it  unreasonable  that  I  expect 
one  of  thy  oxen  in  return."  "It  is  no  more  than  justice,"  quoth 
the  farmer,  "  to  be  sure  ;  but  what  did  I  say  ? — I  mistake — it  i:^ 
ymir  bull  that  has  killed  one  of  my  oxen."  "Indeed ! "  says  the 
lawyer,  "that  alters  the  case  :  I  must  inquire  into  the  affair  ; 
and  if — "  "And?//"  said  the  farmer;  ^'■the  business  I  find

"Sabbath  or  Sunday,  Monday,  Tuesday, Wednesday,  Thursday, 
Friday,  Saturday."  The  Sabbath  is  a  day  of  rest,  and  called 
the  Lord's  day,  because  God  has  commanded  us  to  keep-  it 
holy.  On  that  day  we  are  to  omit  labor  and  worldly  employ- 
ments, and  devote  the  time  to  religious  duties,  and  the  gaining 
of  religious  knowledge. 

*'IIow  many  hours  are  there  in  a  day  or  day  -ind  night?" 
"Twenty-four."  "How  many  minutes  in  an  hour  "  "Sixty." 
"How  many  seconds  in  a  minute  ?"  "Sixty."  Time  is  measured 
by  clocks  and  watches  ;  or  by  dials  and  glasses. 

The  light  of  the  sun  makes  the  day,  and  the  shade  of  the 
earth  makes  the  night.  The  earth  revolves  from  west  to  east 
once  in  twenty-four  hours.  The  sun  is  fixed  or  stationary ; 
but  the  earth  turns  every  part  of  its  surface  to  the  sun  once 
in  twenty-four  hours.  The  day  is  for  labor,  and  the  night 
is  for  sleep  and  repose.  Children  should  go  to  bed  early 
in.  the  evening,  and  all  persons,  who  expect  to  thrive  in  the 
world,  should  rise  early  in  the  morning.
